However, the concept of chaos and opposition to God can be related to Greek terms like δράκων (drakōn, Strong's G1404), meaning "dragon."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>In the Hebrew Bible, "Rahab" is used as a symbolic name for Egypt, representing arrogance and chaos. It is often associated with the sea monster or dragon, symbolizing opposition to God. Rahab is depicted as a force of chaos subdued by God, illustrating His power over creation and nations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern mythology, sea monsters or dragons often symbolized chaos and disorder. The biblical usage of Rahab as a metaphor for Egypt draws on this imagery, portraying Egypt as a proud and chaotic entity subdued by God's might. This reflects the historical context of Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage and God's sovereignty over nations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7292.htm">rahab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"storm," a name for Eg.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Rahab (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Rahab <p>The same as <a href="/hebrew/7293.htm">rahab</a>;
